Absolute stand out event on the annual live festival circuit OutsideIn will not be returning this year, it’s been announced.

The announcement does look to the future somewhat optimistically, with organisers concluding: “We hope to see you all again in the near future!”

At this stage, no reason for the surprise cancellation has been given.

In just a space of a couple of years, Sydney’s OutsideIn has become a critically acclaimed event, taking out Festival Of The Year at one stage – no easy feat in this overactive market.

Taking place in Rock City Sydney, Marrickville, OutsideIn had considerable street cred which was furthered when Thom Yorke just rocked up in the festival’s inaugural year.

Music Feeds has reached out for comment. UPDATE 03/08/16 1.48pm: Astral People have confirmed they have decided to end OutsideIn Festival for the foreseeable future, so as to focus on developing their artists. See the full statement here.
